Guh. Couldn't finish it. It's not the subject matter that was boring, but rather a combination of bad narrator (okay, yeah, I'm really picky about audiobook narrators, so this guy may not seem that bad to anyone else) and Halpern's writing, namely his consistent use of similes and metaphors that did not make sense to me. I kept getting stuck. For instance, at one point he says, "like an ornery ant pushing a crumb off a picnic table." I mean, what? I just can't imagine an ant ever behaving in that way--throwing a temper tantrum and pushing food off a table out of spite? Huh? I probably spent the next ten minutes trying to come up with any situation in which this sort of thing would happen in real life. And then there was the baby elephant on a mattress surrounded by peanuts scenario. I just couldn't handle the imagery, I guess--sometimes I am way too literal. Anyway, I made it about 20% of the way through, but I felt like I was squinting in confusion and clenching my teeth in frustration and huffing and puffing in annoyance and disbelief the whole time and eventually figured I'd be better off just giving the rest of this one a pass. So. Take that, you ornery ant!
